It was once very frustrating to be a shortstop prospect in the Mets system, but now that the Jose Reyes era is over, Wilmer Flores is probably having trouble holding in his glee. Flores's 2011 was a full-season grind of 133 games at high-A Port St. Lucie, in which the 19 year old swatted .269/.309/.380 with nine homers and a couple of stolen bases thrown in for good measure. He's still a year or two away from Flushing, and it's possible he could outgrow shortstop, but right now all you need to remember is that this is the kind of kid the word 'elite' should be reserved for.
